Regarding Retirosnents.

The Army and Navy journal takes us
to task for recent criticism of the
methods of the war department in max
ink retirements, in which we gave an
illustration or two, showing that greater
attention was being given to the creation
of vacancies for unfledged second lieu
tenants, than to economy. The article
criticising the BEES remarks show that
the Journal, although devoted exclu-
sively to army and navy topics, is not on
the alert for abuses in army administra-
ton. This is already shown in claiming
that what we urged should be, was now
the rule Influencing the war department
in ordering rctiremcnts. Will the Jour.
nal claim that such officers as Majors
Warren, Webster, Thomas, and others of
the staff, have not yet reached their
legitimate turn, and that Captain Pease
has? When was Majors Webster and
Thomas last lntelligently and fairly en-
titled to be classed as on active duty9
Are there not number of staff officers OF
high rank long absent from duty, whose
retirement would result in great economy
to the government, and who are con-
tinued on full pay through high iniiu.
ence or because their retirement would
create no vacancies for the young men
now at the academy Is it right to
show these incapacitated staff
officers this favors Why should
they continue to draw full pay anc
place others more recently OF
active duty, and who draw less pay, on
the retired list before them9 We again
protest against such favoritism.

Omaha will this week be honored with
hundreds of visitors comprising two
great religious assemblies. The annual
convention of the Episcopal church of
Nebraska and the national synod of the
Presbyterian church Of the United States,
to be followed next week by the national
convention of the Lutheran church.
Tho Episcopal visitors have nearly all
visited the metropolis IN previous years,
yet they will see marked Improvement
in Omaha since they were last here.
The synod Of the Presbyterian church
is in many respects very important
gathering. 1t brings to this city
clerical and lay delegates fro m
every part of the country comprising
men eminent in pulpit and men promi-
net in business life. They are, as a rule,
shrewd and careful observers, and will no
doubt see much to interest and entertain,
and they must carry away with them the
most pleasant impressions of this young,
great and growing city of the west. A
large majority of them have never before
visited Omaha, yet in all probability they
expect to see prosperous city. In this
they certainly will not be surprised, but
we believe they will be surprised at the
many beautiful buildings, the broad.
paved thoroughfares, the numerous pub
lie improvements, the hum of industry
on every hand. and the push and hurry
of the surging crowds on the business
streets, all furnishing striking evidences
OF enterprise. energy and wealth.
Omaha extends cordial welcome to
her many visitors, and hopes that they
will be impressed with the open-handed
hospitality so characteristic of the west.

We are gravely and reproachfully in
formed by the Herald that from what it
"knows Of Captain Moynihan he is just
che kind of man who could not be used
BY the BEE or any paper, not even the
Herald if 1t was SO disposed, which it is
not" Well, well, this is, indeed, pretty
state Of affairs! mot even the Herald if
It was so disposed, which it is notr' We
arc willing to admit that the Herald dis.
plays not only excellent taste but the
very best Of Judgment, IN saying that it
has no use for Moynihan. We suspected
this all along. The BEE has no use for
Moynihan. The Herald has no use for
him. and there is every indication that
nine-tenths Of Omaha's population is of
the same opinion as the Herald and BEE.

THE iron and steel production of the
United States in 1885 was the largest in
the history Of these industries in this
country, and what is still more signif-
Oant every ton of the product went i'm
mediately into consumption. OF the
total, Pennsylvania produced rather more
than half, followed in the order named
by Ohio, Illinois, Alabama, New York,
Tennessee. Michigan, New Jersey and
Virginia. each of which produced up
ward of l50,0O0 tons. The remainder of
the output was distributed in small
amounts among fourteen states and
Washington territory. 1t is an interest
ing fact that In the production of all
kinds of steel this country last year ex-
coeded Great Britain by l07 ,S32 tons, and
closed the industrial and calendar year
- the foremost steel producing country
1n'the world.

And 80 we cast aside our cherished friend
ship,
And so cease to call you even friend:
And SO l hurry from all sight and hearing
The memory Of this friendship and its end.
If you have caused me pain, you ale for
given;
If you have grieved me, it is over now;
II | have found you tickle ana unstable,
You will forget; no grief need cloud your
brow.
All, well. 1t is not strange we should grow

1t is not strange we both should wish to

But, now tits over, I reveal my secret
'Tis this: loved you, loved you from my

Honor to Venturous Pioneers.


The sale Of Boyd's packing house In Omaha
brings to mind the pluck and energy of Mr..
Boyd who established the original house OF
the kind in Omaha and made the only prac-
tical hog market for years. All honor to
venturous pioneers In business IN the west.

WILLIAM O'BRIEN has acquired addi-
tional prestige since he left his native
land. He has just been elected to the
house Of commons without opposition.
1t is uncertain whether or not this will
improve his claim to the attention of the
Canadian people, but it may increase the
: solicitude of Lord Ian sdowne.

Growth OF Omaha.

In no way Is the growth Of Omaha better
or more forclby set forth than in the incrcas
of its bank clearances. In this particular 1t
leads all the cities 10 the union. This Is
doing more to-day to attract attention to
Omaha than all other things put together.

THE law prohibiting the importation
of contract labor has just been given an
appl ication that will doubtless be re-
garded as somewhat strained. A number
of working people residing in Drum
mondville, Canada, are employed on the
American side, and cross:..the Niagara
suspension bridge daily to and from their
work. 1t is probable that residence in
Drummondville is chiefly for
economical reasons. The assistant
secretary of the treasury has
decided, however, that the employment
in the United States of these foreign resi-
dents is violation of the law, and in the
line of strict construction the ruling is
doubtless correct. The aim of the statute
was understood to be to prevent the i'm
portation of European contract labor.
bu. it is clear that the law could be
easily nullilied if Canada should be al
lowed to become free passage way for
foreign labor. 1t Is PLAIN that the inter-
diction must apply as well to the people
of the dominion as to those of any other
country.

The (iifx AffnrnaY

The city council has confirmed the ap-
pointment of Of Hon. j. l.. Webster, as
city attorney,to succeed Hon. w. j. Con-
nell. 1t is universally conceded that MIR.
Connell has made one'of the most valuable
and faithful officers the city has ever
had. His official career is without flaw.
Inasmuch as the city council has seen
fit to make change in this important
Office, the BEE does not hesitate to say
that the selection of'Mr! Webster will
meet with general approval. He is a
lawyer of acknowledged ability, ranking
among the foremost lawyers of Nebras-
ka. If he performs the duties
of the Office of city attorney
as well as his predecessor, and the BEE
has reason to believesthat he will. the
city's interest will be amply protected,
Mayor Broach's j; appointment OF
Mr.. Davis as assistant city attorney. is
one that will meet with popular approval.
Mr.. Davis possesses rare legal attain.
ments. and is one of the brightest young
lawyers in Omaha. The council can not
do better than confirm his nomination.

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Trade OF the Month Opens Fairly Act

The Trade Of the Month Opens Fairly Act
i've, with a Firm Tone to Prices.
INDIANAPOLIS. Nov i.
Trade was fairly active to-day. and a belief
prevails that the business of this month is to ex-
coed that of any preceding month of the present
year. as stocks carried of staple articles are not
large. but few country merchants stocking up
much ahead, and usually there is a free buying
in November, retail trade is invariably good.
and promises to be more active than usual, SO
well have the employees in the various Industries
been employed for some months past, which
means that there is moro money to be disbursed
for the necessaries OF life In prices to-day
there were no changes of Importance. The seed
market is firm. while trading is light. Flax
seed higher. Clover very firm, with but little
offered. In groceries there is steady, strong
tone to prices, and . fair distribution
of staple articles in progress. Coffees
have become settled, while sugars
still upward in tone. In the produce market
there is good deal of activity. Vegetables of
all kinds high and scarce except potatoes, which
still arriving in considerable quantities:
prices stronger than last week for choice
stock. Sweet potatoes in good supply aud low
for this time of the year. Butter plenty such as
it is. there being good deal of poor unpalatable
stuff on the market. Really choice butter how
ever. will sell at our quotations. Receipts of
poultry are large and prices weak at quotations
Eggs firm and tending higher. Pears are out
of market Ounces are plenty and meeting
with slow sale. Apples, really choice are sell
ing at good prices. Inferior fruit sells low
Cranberres are meeting with good sale and If
good stock. firm at our best quotation. Grapes
are in good supply. and the cooler weather the
last few days has improved the market The
hide market rules steady with an improved Eas-
tern demand. The market is glutted with bana-
mas and they seldom sell as low as at the pres
ent time.

All grades of wheat are in good request, and q
strong feeling noticeably. Corn, on light re-.

indicates that prices in the coming months will
not show much decline The conditions of ar.
rivals thus far is much better than was expect
